  • @DownPW There isn’t any easy way to achieve this without using position: absolute on the img itself. Even then, you’d need to manually alter the position of the child icons in the same div (the sidebar). Whilst I do see the appeal, it’s not something I’d recommend doing to be honest.

    @phenomlab

    I succeeded in the following way by playing with the margins.

    .sidebar #user_dropdown .avatar {
        margin: 2px -7px;
        width: 35px;
        height: 35px;
    }
    

    Result is good :

  • I’d like to do the same thing with the website logo.

    For example, at Christmas time, I’d like to change my logo to something like a Santa hat, but it’s always cut off.

    I’ve tried adjusting the size and margins, and even modifying the logo’s pixels directly, but it doesn’t seem to work. It’s always cut off in the same way.

    @phenomlab ?

  • This post is deleted!
  • I just upgraded to the latest version to see if I could replicate this, which I can’t. Do you perhaps have overriding CSS?

  • resolve with :

    li[component=post] a[href*=“/groups/administrators”] {
    position: absolute !important;
    left: 2px;
    z-index: 2;
    margin-top: 1px;
    border-radius: 999px !important;
    line-height: 14px;
    display: block;
    margin-left: 6px !important;
    background: var(–bs-user-level-bg) !important;
    color: var(–bs-body-color-primary) !important;
    width: auto;
    }

    @DownPW great, but use position: absolute; carefully and sparingly

  • Hi,

    I’d like to enlarge the div so that the logo is fully displayed. Right now, for example, it’s cut off on the right at the glasses.

    8d7fea95-a138-42be-9ffd-12448b0b6fcd-image.jpeg

    an idea ?

  • if I set :

    • {
      overflow: visible !important;
      }
      it’s OK.

    I have not overflow: hidden in my custom css on acp…

    Maybe because Fancybox add an <a> no ?

    @DownPW strange. Fancybox doesn’t actually alter the image as far as I recall.

    Does it make a difference if you change the class name (in developer mode) from fancybox to say, fancybox1?

    If it works, then the class may have that defined already.

  • @baris said:

    You should change your selectors so it doesn’t look at the entire document. You probably only want to apply fancybox to stuff inside the #content element which is what changes when the user navigates around the page. So use $('#content a').... for your selectors then the forum logo in the header won’t be selected.

    I modified the JS Fancybox code now and this code and it seem better 🙂

    // ---------------------------------------------
    // Fancybox Media Reader (Without Website Logo)
    // ---------------------------------------------
    
    if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') {
        $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function(data) {
            console.log("Polling DOM for lazyLoaded images to apply Fancybox");
            $(document).ready(function() {
                $('#content a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                    $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                });
            });
        });
    }
    
    if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') {
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('#content a').not('.logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                    $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                    data.preventDefault()
                    // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                    $('#content blockquote img').remove();
                });
                Fancybox.bind(
                    '#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]',
                    {
                        groupAll: true,
                    }
                );
            });
        });
    }
    
    // Chat fancybox - fires when chat module loaded and AJAX calls new chat
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:chat.loaded', function(data) {
            // >>> Se limiter au contenu principal uniquement <<<
            $('#content img').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                var newHref = $(this).attr("src");
                $(this).wrap("<a class='fancybox' href='" + newHref + "'/>");
                $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                data.preventDefault();
                // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                $('#content blockquote img').remove();
            });
            Fancybox.bind(
                '#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]',
                {
                    groupAll: true,
                }
            );
        });
    });
    

    For the logo, I must use overflow: visible !important; on [component="brand/logo"]

    /* --- Logo --- */
    [component="brand/logo"] {
      max-height: 50px;
      width: auto;
      height: auto;
      max-width: 100%;     
      display: block;
      object-fit: contain;  
      object-position: left center;
      overflow: visible !important;
    }
    

    Better result !!

    Since the latest update, all my icons have disappeared. Could you please advise how to restore them?

  • You use custom version of Font Awesome ?

  • yes @downpw

  • @cagatay said:

    yes @downpw

    So is taht the problem.
    The core migrated to FA6 and no longer automatically includes the compatibility layers. The all.css alone is no longer enough because it only loads icons in native FA6 syntax (fa-solid, fa-regular, etc.). Your old icons using FA4 syntax (fa fa-something) are no longer recognized without the shims.

    Hence the need for the three files:

    • all.css: the FA6 icons themselves
    • v4-shims.css: the mapping table that remaps the old FA4 names to their FA6 equivalents (many icons were renamed between FA4 and FA6)
    • v4-font-face.css: redeclares the FontAwesome @font-face with the old family names (FontAwesome instead of "Font Awesome 6 Pro"), so CSS selectors targeting the old font-family keep resolving

    So if your customs still use FA4 syntax, all three are required.

    I load my Custom FA like this in my ACP/Headers :

    <link href="/assets/customfonts/FontAwesome.Pro.6.x.x/css/all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="/assets/customfonts/FontAwesome.Pro.6.x.x/css/v4-shims.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="/assets/customfonts/FontAwesome.Pro.6.x.x/css/v4-font-face.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    
  • how i create those folders. i added ACP/HEADERS the codes but not working.

    Adapt path to your custom installation. I don’t know where is your custom FA Folder nor how you use it

  • You need to load your Font Awesome CSS files by adjusting this code to the path where you saved them.

    But honestly, I don’t know how you’ve configured your site in this regard.

    </div>

    what i have now

    @cagatay if you look in the console (developers console in browser) do you see any error messages being returned?

    Linux is case sensitive, and it’s possible to have the same filename and folder name in upper and lower case.

    I suspect this might be the issue, but I could be wrong.

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.
